Tom Kolosso, Hortonville coach: “We have our work cut out for us against SPASH. They are very good in all three phases. They have the top defense in the league in points allowed and rushing. They also have the top rushing offense and put up over 37 points a game.

“We have to limit the mistakes and penalties that have plagued us at times offensively. We have some playmakers and they are going to have to show up on Friday. Defensively we have to hold up against a very big and physical offensive line and do our best to limit their rushing attack. Hauser is a tough matchup for everyone and we have to try and limit the damage he does, especially in the red zone.

“As a team we have steadily improved over the course of the season and we are excited to see how we stack up against SPASH, who has clearly been the best team in our conference all season.”

Outlook: With a win, the Polar Bears will claim a share of the VFA-South title. Hortonville will need to be efficient on offense, limit mistakes and avoid turnovers. The SPASH offense is explosive and can put up points in a hurry. For that reason, I’m going with the Panthers.
